What does flood discharge mean?

Flood discharge is flood discharge. Due to the continuous heavy rainfall, the reservoir exceeded the water level. In order to avoid serious disasters caused by flooding or dam-break and weir-break, the floodgate is opened to discharge water to the downstream flood discharge area.

Up to now, the maximum flood discharge of Xin 'anjiang Reservoir is 1999. At that time, the 8-hole sluice was opened, and the flood discharge reached 6700 cubic meters per second, which was more than twice the flood discharge this time. Jiande city City downstream of the reservoir was flooded.

Importance of flood discharge:

It is necessary to establish a more perfect flood warning mechanism. In addition to the upstream and downstream synchronous notification procedures mentioned above, similar early warning information should be widely publicized through radio, television, internet, SMS and other channels to inform relevant personnel of possible dangers.

Flood discharge involves all aspects, so a special organization is needed to coordinate the command, and a smoother communication and cooperation mechanism between regions and departments is established. Flood discharge management should be led by emergency management department, with the participation of water conservancy and environmental protection departments. From early warning information release, river patrol to downstream industry and ecological security assessment, perfect plans should be established.
